Comme je pense a toi
Grandad
When I think of you
I see a smile that never fades
An inquiring mind
that out thought
the quickest of intellects
A beacon of light
you shone your sunshine
into everyone you met
You left them happy and content
I see a gentleman walking amongst men
You fought against mens' melancholy
you rescued suffering souls
Your meaning in life was to protect
You fought for many worthwhile causes
always offering a gentle hand
an open mind and a benevolent smile
You had time for everyone who inclined their heads
or met your eyes
You were as a beautiful kaleidoscopic sunrise
A soul so enchanted with life
You loved your ditties and to make people smile
I can't think of a life more worthwhile
Your family were your ultimate joy
You loved them unconditionally
And they in turn adored their mentor
We'll miss a man a life so patient
You always did the right thing
You were a ministering angel
There will never be a day we don't miss your sunshine smile.
Quite touching! This tribute shoes not only a remarkable man, but an imprint he has left in the poet.
We always hope we shall make a mark in life. It seems this man has. ~Tim
